Perfect look, exactly what i was wanting to do. How much better does it ride compared to 18's?

[Msport335]

Weather hasn't allowed me to take it for a rip yet but I'm assuming the ride will be much more comfortable..... Right now I'm just loving the look!

17x9 et30 apex arc-8

Let me know if you want them 18x10 +25 all around.

[techmaster05]

maybe not as meaty as some but still fairly wide imo. here is my setup

front 245.35.19 on a 19x9
rear 285.30.19 on a 19x10.5

Vegan wheels? lol

[Dark_Knight_335]

The look works on an E90, but I can't see anything less than 18 on E92.

[N0Chill 335i]

I'm tired of running low profile tires. I think I'm gonna go up a profile size front and rear. Pretty sure I bent my OEM 166s this morning on a pot hole.

let's see some more pictures of that setup please! i am debating on pulling the trigger on a set of 18" arc-8 with this group buy or getting 17's.. i'm so on the fence about it. any fitment issues up front with that setup? i am going to be going 18x9.5 squared running 255 on all corners, don't know what kind of issues i will run into up front.

Another meaty set up. Put these on 2 days ago. 225/40/18, 265/35/18
18x9.5 ET 35 with 3mm spacer +32, 18x10.5 ET 27 with 10mm spacer +17, no rubbing since rear fenders are shaved and removed a lot of the fender liner, fronts are rolled but I need to lower the front half an inch.

what suspension are you running? did you use the 3mm spacer because it didn't clear the strut? i've read from some people that the exact same wheel (arc 18x9.5) will clear the front strut fine, and in other places i've read that i will need a small spacer to clear. thanks!

The wheel width is fine, it's because of the offset. When a shop mounted my wheels they did say the wheel is hitting the strut at 18x9.5 ET 35 *barely* but to keep safe we added 3mm. I haven't checked since I haven't had time and they gave me 3mm spacers to clear. I ran 19x9.5 ET 33 for over a year so no issues. I am wondering myself if I needed 3mm spacers at all. But once I have garage time to myself I'll check it out.

I am on suspension technique coilovers same as kwv1 and I remember e9x m3's have to run a 5mm spacer with KW coils so I'm thinking if this is the same case since my coils are made by the same manufacturer.

I'll be adding a 5mm spacer in the front anyway, I want to reach +20 in the front if I can get a 15mm spacer in the future and +12 in the rear.

That's sick.

I mean its function over form right? I think it looks fine for the application.

Heres a few of mine. Let me know what you guys think. Some nice rides in this thread










Crappy cell pic with new wheels!
